Comment 1 Lumír Balhar 2025-07-25 10:06:45 UTC 
Requests is bundled in pip, and that is part of the ensurepip package in the Python standard library.

I've verified that there is no way to exploit the vulnerability in the bundled requests library via any calls to pip. The vulnerable function (fixed in https://github.com/psf/requests/commit/96ba401c1296ab1dda74a2365ef36d88f7d144ef) is there, but it is never used because pip has the logic for loading usernames and passwords from netrc files implemented in MultiDomainBasicAuth class (in _internal/network/auth.py or download.py in older releases of pip).
